The 43rd Japan Ulcer Society Meeting

The 43rd Japan Ulcer Society Meeting (第43回日本潰瘍学会)

Meeting Topic: Translation Research and the Future of Helcology (近未来潰瘍学の創造とトランスレーショナル研究)

The Japanese Society of Ulcer Research (JSUR) has a history of 40 years since the establishment as an academic society of ulcer research. During four decades, JSUR undertook to clarify the pathogenesis of ulcer disease that mainly occurs in gastrointestinal tract and to support the development of new medicines and treatments for the ulcer diseases. JSUR consists of five hundred researchers who are medical doctors and pharmaceutical doctors engaged not only in clinical work but also in research work.

In the 43rd annual meeting, we expect to make advances in the clarification of the pathogenesis for ulcer disease that occurs based on the inflammation and the abnormalities in endocrinological or immunological function. We are also going to support the development of new therapy for ulcer disease with medicines such as acid-suppressive drug, antibiotics, immunosuppressant, prebiotics, probiotics, biologics and herbal medicine.

All scientific sessions are open to OIST members (OIST badge required). All sessions are in Japanese. English interpretation is provided for the the following sessions:

1. The epidemiological study of Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer in Okinawa
